Excelllent observation. BTW, the pictures of your family wedding are beautiful, and your dress is splendiferous!
Thanks. I am still revelling in the aftermath.
We had friends come out to the wedding and the wife stopped down to the room shortly before we left in the exact same dress in a different shade of blue. She took one look at my dress and went back to her room to change. Lucky she had another dress with her.
Is the young couple going to live in Santa Cruz? If so, may I warn your fair skinned daughter about the brutal sun on the beach there? Brutal. I’ve lost 2 cousins to melanoma as a result. One was a natural blonde and one was a natural redhead. Lest you think it was familial — they were from 2 sides of my family.
For some reason that my family has never figured out, the sun at Santa Cruz seems to be magnified. It burns faster and deeper than in any other part of the country. Perhaps it’s the breeze that’s constantly blowing and it’s easy to forget how long you’ve been out because you never really get hot.
